We walked into the doors of URBAN-X with some patents, a few very rough prototypes, and a Tupperware container.
We walked out with an engineering proof of concept, a validated product, some amazing partners, press mentions in top-tier publications, a network of customers and lasting friendships.
At the end of every Cohort program is Demo Day – a powerful platform for startups to showcase market-ready prototypes and solutions to an audience of investors, thought leaders, press and influencers. View our keynote from Demo Day 03 from ZipCar Founder Robyn Chase here.
In April 2019 we celebrated the culmination of our fifth cohort with a livestreamed presentation from each of our founders on a global media platform provided by Futurism. Connecting founders to a unique group of customers, investors, and public officials is how city life gets better.
Being associated with URBAN-X gave us credibility within the startup scene.
By the end of the program, we had a functioning prototype, support from major blind organizations, a powerful presentation pitch deck, and a clear road map to face the future.

The URBAN-X Zine is a bi-annual, printed publication that explores the current and future condition of the city. In combining insights and opinions from experts in the fields of science, art, education, and business it takes a speculative stance on how life in cities will evolve, how entrepreneurship could shape the future and where technology might take us.
